The boys varsity lacrosse team put up a record of 6-12 on the year. The most wins that Dedham boys lacrosse has put up in years. They posted two wins against each Bellingham, Stoughton, and Norton. There were games that slipped away for them including tough losses to Norwood twice and Ashland. They ended the season on a good note with a win against Stoughton . We saw excellent seasons from Sam McGregor, Ryan Davis, Tj Harris and the rest of the team who put their best effort in all season. Moving forward the lacrosse program will look to continue to improve and get to a point where a potential winning season is in the near future.

The girls varsity lacrosse team also showed improvement by posting three wins. Two of the three wins came against Norton and the other against Norwood. They ended the season with a record of 3-14 which might not sound or look great, but it is an improvement from last season and a step in the right direction moving forward. The girls lacrosse program will look to build off of this year and hope to keep on improving for the future. We saw great seasons from Madison Rella, Cara Derby, Audrey Morse, and more. Girls lacrosse is heading in the right direction and it will be interesting to see if they can continue to improve in the future and lead Dedham to great seasons in the future.

The boys tennis team struggled this year, but they did show plenty of potential for future growth. They only gained 2 team wins over the course of the season. The team was led by senior Pedro Luchi who was a bright star on the team. The team is on to next season, and they hope to work over the summer to improve on their record next year.
